Waxed - Record Review from Issue #28 July-Aug 2000
Victoria Williams – Water To Drink
Victoria Williams makes her presence known subtly but intently. On Water To Drink, she characteristically takes the simplest elements of music — the warm greens and soft pinks — and paints with them in the wind. Her pictures end up like laughing tales and wholesome loving from the highest point of the Ferris wheel to [...]

Various Artists – Full Circle: A Tribute To Gene Clark
It’s hard to believe the rehabilitation of the tattered legacy of Gene Clark has taken so long to instigate. The ultimate image of 1965 cool, Clark — with his brooding, velvety voice and a sackful of moody, introspective, unforgettable songs such as “Feel A Whole Lot Better” and “Set You Free This Time” — was [...]
Not Fade Away - Reissue Review from Issue #28 July-Aug 2000
Willie Nelson – Red Headed Stranger
The language of myth is indirect, metaphorical, and narrative in structure.…The movement of mythic narrative, like that of any story, implies a theory of cause-and-effect, a theory of history; but these implications are only rarely articulated as objects of criticism, since their operation is masked by the traditional form of the narrative, its conformity to [...]

O, Brother Where Art Thou – Ryman Auditorium (Nashville, TN)
And they sat quietly. The whole house, full. Nearly silent, applauding often, rapt through 28 songs, except when Ralph Stanley took the stage and then they all stood, and when it was all over they stood for that, too, and were not then easily quieted. Onstage were neither drums nor amplifiers, simply a collection of [...]

Box Full of Letters from Issue #28
Lee Ann Womack: Countrified or compromised? When I first saw the article on Lee Ann Womack [ND #27, May-June '00], I was nonplussed. Then I saw the byline and thought, well, what can you expect from a guy who doesn’t “get” Gram Parsons? Just be happy they didn’t put her on the cover. But since [...]
Hello Stranger - Editor's Note from Issue #28 July-Aug 2000
Hello Stranger from Issue #28
I first got to know Kim Webber through a notorious AOL message board which had a little something to do with the name we chose for this magazine. Kim was part of a small contingent from Knoxville who had stumbled upon our online community, sometime around 1995 if memory serves. I’ve forgotten what her AOL [...]

Born Leonard Raymond Sipes, Collins recorded for Capitol during the mid-’50s but gave up his career to heed a call to the ministry, only to return to songwriting and performing in the ’60s.
